In the garden...

I'm pretty sure that you remember my post about our ugly garden fence. The fence itself is still quite ugly (sorry, PRH), but now the garden is full of beautiful veggies! While PRH picked squash the other night, I snapped a few photos. Based on Renee's suggestion, I made zucchini "noodles" that night and they were delicious. Instead of red sauce, I sauteed the "noodles" with a bit of olive oil and garlic, and garnished with parmesan cheese. I also made summer squash pancakes to go with that. My mom used to make them when we were little and I've always loved them. Our recipe is a little different from the one I linked to, but you get the idea. Any favorite zucchini or summer squash recipes?

These are the sunflowers that Kicky and EZ E planted. They're pretty proud of their garden.

You are getting good stuff from the garden! Here's the thing about ugly fences: you want a cheap/easy fence for your garden for the first couple years you have it so you can make sure you have the size and layout that is right for your land and needs. It would be awful to build some expensive thing only to have it not be just right for your needs. With gardens, it takes a couple years to know! So there's some justification for you, if you want it. :) (I think it looks fine and functional as it is though.)
